IKONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK; In the general Discount Market there is a rather active demand for accommodation, and the rates have advanced to 51 y per cent. for even the best short dated paper. This change in affairs has been produced by the liquidation of a large number of railway debentures, and the necessary requirement for the arrangement of the fortnightly account at the Stock Exchange, which, owing to the recent extensive transactions in Bank and other shares, now diverts a very large sum from ordinary channels. There was a withdrawal of £280,000 in gold from the Bank yesterday for transmission to Spain. The bar silver by the last West India packet has been sold at 5s 19d per ounce. In the Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was no material change. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £440,660, and the exports to X 758,502. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter were 661.40 c. Flat. The English Stock Market to-day has presented an unusually quiet appearance, the aggregate number of bargains recorded being extremely few. There is a larger absence of the members than has been known, even on Saturday, for a considerable period, the want of disturbing causes to influence speculation, and the fineness of the weather having induced a great many to make holiday. Consols con tinue at 90E,-' 1 for money, and at 901 91 for account. The New Threes and Reduced are 891 90, India 5 per Cents. 1041; ; and Exchequer Bills, Bs. die, to par. There is very little animation or alteration in the Foreign Market. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 691 70 ; do. Consolides, 61 ; Mexican, ex all, 291 ; do. Now, 261 271 ; Greek, 241 25 ; Spanish Passive, 291 ; do. Certificates, 101; Portuguese, 47! 481; Italian, 671 68k, and the Confederate Loan, 771 781. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been rather limited, and prices have in moat in stances shown leas firmness. Great Eastern have declined 1;1; North Western, Manchester, Shef field, and Lincoln, Midland, and Sonth Eastern each 1 ; and Great Northern, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, and North Eastern, Berwick, The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inac. tive at previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dealt in to an average extent, and prices generally are well sus tained. Agrn and Masterman have improved to 150 151 ; London and Colonial to 24 25 and Credit Mobilier to 104. BRITISHIFUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. GOVERNMENT FUNDS. 3 per Cent. Consols Do Account, Aug. 3 per Cent.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EASTERN RAlL WAY.—Yesterday morning Mr Codd, coroner for Essex, opined an inquest at Harwich respecting the death of Wm. Wright, a fireman, who was killed on Wednesday through the upsetting of a train on the Harwich line, Evidence was given confirmatory of the facts which have already been published. John Carr, the driver of the en gine, which was a now one, could not give any reason for the engine leaving the line. When he found that it was off the rails ho shut off the steam, and did his best to stop, but the engine continued its course for 60 or 70 yards, and then fell down the embankment. He was only proceeding at the rate of about 25 miles an hour. A platelayer, who had worked for seven yzars on this branch, deposed that he saw the train in question for about 100 yards before the accident occurred, and noticed that it was travelling at a greater speed than he had ever seen a train on this line before. He was so struck with this that he remarked to his mate that the engine wouli be off the rails. After the produc tion of some other evidence the inquiry was adjourned for a week. A Lesson in Oratory. (From the Law Times of this day.) It is impossible to witness unmoved a battle of the giants, and the great debate of last week deserves to be so called Oratory is so essentially a part of the education and busi ness of a lawyer, that to every member of the profession a conflict of orators has an interest, apart from the subject of the strife. It is a lesson to be learned, a study by which to profit. Thus critically viewed by the advocate's eye, it must be admitted that the lawyers were excelled by the civilians. The Attorney-General has been seldom lese effec tive than upon this occasion, so calculated to inspire to the loftiest display of his art. His argument was not forcibly presented, and his pereoration was feeble. Perhaps he had prepared it too carefully beforehand. There are some speakers, and we suspect that the Attorney- General is ono of them, who speak better under the impulse of the moment than when they write and com mit to memory, and for this reason, that in preparation their good taste restrains the flow of words in which feeling finds vent, and the cold correctness of the study chills the fervour of debate, and contrasts unpleasantly with the excitement that surrounds the speaker. Mr Whiteside was far more effective, but he fell short of himself, and perhaps for the same reason. But Mr Whiteside is a natural orator, which Sir Roundell Palmer is not, and therefore previous study of a speech is likely to diminish its power, though it may improve its art. It is much to bo regretted that Sir Hugh Cairns was not heard on this grand occasion, which vet uld have suited well his peculiar oratory, the characteristic of which is power. There is no living lawyer who can put an argument into so telling a form as he, and though he rarely rises to positive eloquence, he is always convincing. 'f he greatest speech of th e d e b ate—viewe d as a wor k o f art—was that of Mr Herman. It had every quality of a grand oration, and will well repay the careful examination of the student of oratory. It was mos t ar ti s tic a lly con strutted, rising with regul ar steps to the climax, eac h par t i n its right place, all leading t o th e conclusion — no par t o f i t overlaid with argument—sonrcely a superfluous word—the i nvec tive carefully mea sure d —the eloquence chastely sub dued—fraught with matter not hidd en i n a c l ou d o f wor d s —in fact, a model speech. That it was written and com mitted to memory was manifest ; no man could utter such perfect sentences and polished irony on the impulse of the moment; but, unlike the Attorney-General, who has the coolness—perhaps some will call it the coldness—of the lawyer, Mr Herman has strong emotions and was inspired by feelings which, though the words were spoken from the memory and not from the mind, infused their own bitter ness and gave to them the effect of extempore utterance, Next to his comes the speech of Mr Cobden, remarkable for being more than mere invective, for the enunciation of a definite policy. Our business, however, is with its art, and not its argument. It was pregnant with matter, the manifest product of a thoughtful mind address ing itself to the intelligence of its audience. Hence it may be termed a weighty speech, but not a heavy one. On the contrary, it was impossible not to listen, and so clearly were the arguments put, and in such plain language expressed, that the shallowest could understand him thoroughly. The reason of this singular clearness, that characterises all the speeches of Mr Cobden and was so pre-eminently ex hibited last week, is that he is a clear thinker. Muddy and confused speakers are such because their ideas are confused and muddy. They think that they have thoughts, when thee:rh conceptionsaveonly that thes floathado across thewascroofthouts thoughts, dim and shape lehmincl and are never reduced to form, and glimpses of arguments that aro never followed through from their first steps to their conclusions. Mr Cobden speaks what ho thinks as he thinks, and hence the charm of his oratory to the intelligent, his influence even when putting forth unpopular doctrines, and the pleasure with which he is always heard and read. The third great speech of the debate was that of Mr Gladstone. But it was not one of his greatest efforts. Ile has made grander orations in the same arena on lesser occasions. N ever th e l ess , hi s speech is a study, especially if taken in connection with the others we have named, differing as he does from all of them in style. Upon the whole Mr Gladstone is the most complete and perfect orator of his time, embracing more of the sub stance with ornament, good matter and grace f u l manner, the r ni t rulesteand when an d thethis art is borne o f oratory.ore His speeches are n o t written, n mind, it will be with astonishment that we receive the continuous stream of apt words constructing perfect sentences which flows from his lips for hours together, expressed in tones in which nature has given the charm of music and flexibility. Add to this, that he utters the genuine thought of the moment, and the sources of his influence over an audience will be understood. Ho would indeed be all powerful but for one characteristic, which might be deemed a defect, were it not that much of the excellence of his oratory is probably due to it. His strangely subtle intellect is so constructed, that whatever may be the proposition or the purpose of the moment, it crowds upon him every argument, insomuch that he can adduce in a moment overwhelming reasons for any policy, any purpose, or even any principle that may present itself, and for the time he is perfectly sincere in his advocacy. This is the simple explanation of his strange contradictions of opinion and action, seldom the same for six months together, yet each iu turn held with equal honesty, and maintained with equal ability and genuine earnestness, His speeches manifest that Mr Gladstone's mind is ever overflowing with thoughts, Fe is a true improvisatoro. Set hint any theme whatever, and he would discourse upon it or about it with ease and fluency, and what he says will be certain to be well said and worth listening to; for he has a vast and varied knowledge, and the student may see in his example the importance to an orator of a large store of information, and the confirmation of a truth which cannot be too often repeated—that there is no scrap of knowledge picked up by a man anywhere or at any time that does not at some time come into use. The only other speech rising much above the ave rage was that of Mr Bernal Osborne. But it was remark able, not for its accordance with the rules of oratorical art, but for its eccentricity. It was extremely amusing, and that is a quality certain to recommend a speaker to an audience. Shouts of laughter pleasantly break the mono tony of a grave debate, and the more grave the subject the more grateful the relief, and the more welcome the orator who can relax the lips. But comic oratory must be born with a man ; no art can produce it. If, however, the reader finds in himself the fac u lty, ho will see in Mr Osborne's speech what good can be made of it, and how it may bo turned to the best account. The speech of Mr Disraeli was unequal, and, on the whole, inferior to many of its pr e d ec es s ors. His is essen tially the epigrammatic s t y l e, and nothing if it is not bril liant. He is greatest wh en he can flash wit, eloquence, or sarcasm, carefully prepared, but used with such artistic effect as to wear the aspect of inspiration. The speech of last week was less brilliant than usual, perhaps because he was compelled to devote the greaser portion of it to quo tations from and reference to blue books ; but his case was brought forward with a skill whichwould have bean ad mired in a practised advocate, and the oration may be studied as a specimen of the manner in which a case may be made and presented. For plain, straightforward, Unaffected thought, clothed in language equally plain and powerful, General Peel was pre - e minent. His speech w as admirable i n taste and tong,and the student will learn from it how effective a speaker can be who, without even the pretence of oratory, has feelings anddthmatetrhells unador ne d s p ee ch was more tell y t gives expression in the language to the emotions and convictions that are in they prom' , ing with hi s audience th an all the splendid orations we have been reviewing. If s o i t was, it is a proof that common se nse is, after all, the primary qualification for a speaker, him. opinions,ltis and that the oth er in gredient s are graces an d ornaments, that have their value, but are not indispensable. sa a id n SHIPPING -THIS DAY, and fine weather. lad ist, W.—Sailed—Mail of LONDON, July 16 * -IVi ncl this day at noon—North- Easterly;bore:we CARDIFF, Athens, for Pernambuco. .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET BRUTAL ASSAULT BY A BETTING MAN.—Edward Smith, a betting man, well known about Coventry-street, was charged before Mr Knox with wilfully assaulting Richard Jeffs, a drayman employed by the City of L)ndon Brewery Company, Thames-street. The complainant said that on the previous afternoon he was at the corner of Panton-street, about to get on his dray, when the prisoner gave him a blow in the mouth. He had a struggle with the prisoner, and both fell, and on get ting up, the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the head with a very thick stick, inflicting a bad wound. He was compelled to go to Charing-cross Hospital to have his head &eased, and had to go again that morning. Nt• Knox told the complainant that on the previous aftcri:ooL: finding that he was not abh to give evidence, having beet: drinking, ho had ordered the case to come on this morning. . _ A gentleman named Bigg proved seeing the prisoner strike the complaieant in the mouth, and afterwards strike him on the head with a stick. Tho complainant was not sober at the time. Sergeant Lees, 9 C, proved going after the prisoner, who ran away as soon as he had aseaulted the complainant, and taking him into custody. In answer to Mr Knox, the sergeant said he believed the affair arose out of " chaffing " that had been going on, it being known in the neighbourhood that the man could not stand it. The prisoner wished the case postponed, that he might call witnesses to prove that the drayman insulted a young girl. Mr Knox said that, whatever the origin of the affair, the prisoner had no business to use a thick heavy stick like that produced, and give a man such a blow as he had inflicted ; besides, it was shown that the prisoner had struck the first blow. He would not postpone the case, for he knew what the result would be. The prisoner said the drayman had his whip in his hand, and all he did was to protect himself. Mr Bigg said that was not true. Mr Knox ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of £5, or be committed for a month with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. AN AWEWARD ACCIDENT.—CharIes Southey was charged with wilfully breaking a carriage window. Mr John Bostock, en officer in the army, said that the defendant, at 11 o'clock last night, broke the window of a brougham belonging to a lady named Colley. Witness was in company with her at the South Kensington Museum, and upon her carriage being called they got in, but were followed by the defendant, who dashed his hand through one of the windows and the glass fell on the lady's lap. Mr Selfe—What do you suppose was the cause of the act ? Mr Bostock—l suppose it was because we had not given him anything. There were a number of these men about creating confusion, and asking if they should fetch car riages, and running after others demanding money. Defendant—lt was quite an accident, your worship, it must have been, because if it was not I should have cut myself. Mr Selfe—This gentleman says you broke the window with your hand. Do you deny that? Defendant—l don't deny it, but it was an accident. I followed the carriage and tapped at the window certainly, but I did not mean to break it. Mr Selfe--What right had you to follow the carriage and tap at the window at all ? Defendant—l said, " Pray, remember me," because I had fetched the carriage and they had not given me any thing. If I had hit the glass hard to break it I would have cut myself. Mr Bostock—The man who fetched the carriage, as we supposed, was paid; we had no notion that this man had any claim upon us. Mr Selfe ordered the defendant to pay the amount of damages, and said that if he did not before four o'clock he would certainly commit him to gaol. THAMES. A TOWER-HILL ROBBERY.—Thomas Sinclair, a well known thief, about 17 years of age, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with stealing a silk handkerchief from the person of Captain Burley, of Boston, in Lincolnshire. The prosecutor, who is the master of the ship Caroni, was passing over the " thieves' paradise," which has for the last three centuries been infested with crimps, swindlers, magsmer, and pickpockets day and night,. when he felt a tug at his coat-pocket, and on turning round saw the pri soner putting a silk handkerchief, the property of the captain into his pocket. Captain Burley seized the fellow and said "That is my handkerchief." "Indeed, sir," replied the thief, very coolly, and taking the handkerchief from his pocket, " then it is at your service," and gave it to the prosecutor. The prisoner then ran away. The captain pursued him and soon overtook him near the Trinity House, on the top of the hill. John Curtis, of the City police, No. 543, said he knew the prisoner well, and that ha had been for a long time hanging about Tower-hill and Billingsgate doing no work. The prisoner, who was fat and plump, said he was very hungry, and that made him take the gentleman's 'kerchief, Mr Paget sentenced the prisoner ,o one month's impri sonment and hard labour. A SHARP ERRAND BOY.—James Jackson, a boy aged 14, was brought before Mr Paget charged with stealing 15s 4d, the moneys of Mr John Leftwich, wholesale and retail cheesemonger, Nos. 11 and 12, Bedford place, Commercial road, Stepney. The prisoner had been recommended to the prosecutor as a sharp errand boy, and entered his service on Monday hfst. Nothing particular occurred on that day. On Tues day morning the prisoner was dispatched to the house of Mr Edward Smith, in Broad-street, Wapping, with some butter, cheese, and bacon, and a bill for the same. He delivered the goods to Mr Smith, and received 15s 4d, the money for the same, with which he absconded. A detec tive officer, named James Briden, No. 4 K, was engaged to detect the sharp errand boy, and met with him this morning at half. past one o'clock, and in very questionable company. The prisoner admitted his guilt, and said "I see my folly now." . _ Mr Leftwich asked the magistrate to dispose of the case summarily. Mr Paget said he could not comply with the request, and committed the prisoner Or trial. ]MARKETS---This Day, COVENT( Our market continues to be Fruit commands a steady sale, rate request.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) lIOPLEY V. 110PLPY. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. By the direction of the learned Judge the petitioner was recalled, and, in reply to his lordship, said that the rent of the cot age at Uckfield was paid out of the proceeds of the sale of the furniture of her husband. He came to live with her in July, 1860, about a month before the trial. A pro position had been made to her by her family that she should cease to live with her husband, which she refused to accede to. Mr Kerslake then addressed the jury for the petitioner, and contended that he had fully made out the allegations in the petition. It was, ho felt, too much for them to rely upon the case as presented to them by the respondent, as he could not believe they would come to the opinion that gymnastics were merely going on when the fall spoken to in the evidence was heard upstairs. The fact was that Mr Hopley, instead of pursuing a course of such exercise, was punishing his wife for her not having her lessons. It mig,htbe proper according to Mr Hopley's notion that neither medical man or nurse were necessary at a confinement. It might be right that Mr Hopley should take charge of the child, and dress it in his peculiar style with six pairs of flannel socks on, but he felt certain the jury will not be of that opinion. He had no doubt that Mr Hopley had some peculiar and absurd theory, and he in the course of incul cating it had recourse to flogging children at a very tender age, and, that being the case, he past it to the jury whether it was safe that such a person should be trusted with a young wife and children. When the respondent was in prison for causing the death of young Canceller, it was clear the letters written by the petitioner were penned under fear of the anger of her husband. They were written under the fascination that Mr Hopley had acquired over his wife, and therefore it would be well to give them their most serious consideration, because the petitioner knew that before they reached the hands of Mr. Hopley they would have to un dergo the•supervision of his mother, to whom, previous to his trial he had made over the greater part of his property. The sum and substance of the long speech they had heard from the respondent was, " believe me and disbelieve all that has been placed before you by petitioner." He said, in effect that the whole of these proceedings had been instituted by the brother and friends of his wife out of malice and dislike to him personally, but the jury would give their opinion of the matter. In his , speech Mr Hopley had availed himself, to the fullest, of the licence accorded to persons pleading their own cause, because no advocate will be allowed to make such damaging and sweeping accusa tions as he had done. The respondent said this case had been brought about by his wife's relatives by base flattery, crjelery, and deep subtlety, and that to accuse him of unkindness was the falsest and foulest untruth ever uttered in a court of justice. He did not even stop there, because he said the whole of this case was a lie of the most fearful character, hatched and developed by the brother of the petitioner, a clergyman of the Church of England. The sum and substance of the defence was that the respondent wished the jury to believe him and disbelieve all the evidence, as the witnesses had been suborned by Mr. Cobb, and that the trial was a piece of the most wicked machination ever brought against any individual. The respondent, not content with the cruelty he had inflicted on his wile previous to his in carceraties, when he returned to her from gaol commenced a series of illtreatment of the most flagrant description. He reviled her for accepting the assistance of her friends, and told her she ought to have laboured with her own hands to preserve a home for him rather than that he should be beholden to her friends for anything. He did not scruple to tell her that she might live in the house, but that never again should she be his wife, and it was then in her deep distress the petitioner began to think whether she was acting right to herself and children by submitting to treatment of the most cruel description. The plea of condonation was a most miserable one, and he felt sure the jury could not condemn a young and helpless woman to pass the rest of her days with one who had shown himself wanting in every feeling becoming a husband. He (Mr Kerslake) had no objection to the respondent being the high priest, as he likes to be styled, of his family, but he fervently hoped that his client would not be compelled, by the verdict of the jury, to again cohabit with one who had shown himself so unmanly and unfeeling. The case had not concluded when we went to press. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE WET FAINT AND THE LARGE CRINOLINE.-LEVY V. BARTLETT. This was an action to recover £2, the value of a dress alleged to have been damaged by some paint in defendant's shop. Mr Buchanan, for plaintiff, said—My client had occasion to go into the defendant's shop in Bishopsgate-street a short time ago, and as sho went in some wet paint seriously al tered the condition of her dress behind (laughter) ; defen dant's shopman called out "Mind the paint I" and she made a move, in doing which she plastered her dress in front, thus being painted both before and behind (renewed laughter). For this she seeks to recover £2, her dress, which was a new one, being entirely spoilt. Mrs Levy said that defendant kept a cheesemonger's shop. She went in to make a purchase. Saw no notice of the wet paint. Cross. examined by Mr Vining for defendant—The crinoline was not very large—that is, it was not unusually large. There were no boards up to guard against the paint where I stood. Mr Vining submitted that defendant was not liable. His Honour (Mr Kerr) thought that a customer was en titled to expect a c!ean shop in the city of London. Mr Vining would urge that it was the duty of the plain tiff to exercise proper care. She went into the shop to make a purchase to suit her own purpose, His Honour—She went in for a lawful purpose, and it was the duty of defendant to have given sufficient warning. Mr Vining—There were boards up to guard against the paint• Mr Buchanan—There could not have been boards at the place where she rubbed. Directly a tradesman opens his shop he invites the public to come in and purchase, and he is bound to conduct his business in such a manner that no damage shall ensue to the customer under ordinary cir cumstances. His Honour—There is a case for the Court, for de fendant must remember that in the City of London it is what is called open market. Mr Vining then called defendant's ahopman, who said that he called out to Mrs Levy " Beware of paint, for it is wet." She had a very large crinoline, and admitted that it was of more extensive proportions than those usually worn. Cross•examined—No other accident happened, and there was no written notice up. His Honour thought there was no defence. Mr Vining—Plaintiff had on a large crinoline. His Honnur—l cannot punish a woman for wearing crinoline. Plaintiff can reply that ehe is entitled to follow the prevailing fashion. If a tradesman wishes to protect himself particularly, he ought to put uo a notice, "No 11dies with large crinolines served in this shop." (Laugh• ter.) I must find for plaintiff. Verdict for plaintiff with costs. INQUEST AT HORSENION GER-LANE GAOL.—On Thursday an inquest was hell in Horsemonger-line Goal, relative to the death of Alice Hughes, aged 45, a prisoner, who expired suddenly on Tuesday morning. For three months before her incarceration on Sunday evening last she had been constantly in a state of intoxication , having pledged or sold all the clothes of her children, and then com mitted theft to procure the means of further gratifying her passion. She died from delirium tremens. Verdict—Died from exhaustion, the result of intemperance. AN INVITATION TO DINNEa.—Lord Brougham has invited the House of Lords to dinner—at the Cooking Depot in the New-cut. He has been there him self, and vouches for the quality of beef, peas, and pota toes, for fourpence, and " a basin of soup, better than which their lordships never had at their own tables," for a penny. Add a penny for beer, and we have an excellent dinner for sixpence. Here is the result of the good example set us by Glasgow. In this one depot, .1,500 working men, some with their wives and daughters, dine daily, and, in a man ner, sumptuously. One may ask, why what cookery can do for the working man it should not do for other men ? Beef, after all, is only beef, and peas, potatoes, and soup, fit for a nobleman, if Lord Brougham is right, cannot be very bad for men who are neither noblemen nor working men. Why should a merchant's clerk have to pay eight pence or tenpence for a basin of soup when it can be sold so good for a penny ? Why should he have to pay threepence for a ration of peas, when peas, potatoes, and beef, over which Lord Brougham can luxuriate, may be had for four pence ? Really this is a matter of consequence to thousands. It is a poor dinner which a merchant's clerk can got for a shilling —cow-beef, probably, and certainly no peas. To be sure, it is not necessary for him to eat peas. But why should he be perennially cut off from so innocent a luxury because his eating-house-keeper will not give him three table-spoonfuls for less than threepence? We want a radical change in this matter of feeding. To give a work ing man, with his eighteen shillings per week, a good dinner for sixpence, and charge a clerk, with his thirty shillings per week, a shilling or eighteen-pence for an i n different one, one, is monstroua. The Cooking Depot in the Nevi returns a profit of 20 per cent. What fortunes must the keepers of eating-houses make out of the half millionolfes men and youths who dine and lunch daily at their tables London lkvitto.
